The plums represent the electrons, which has a negative charge.
The plums represent negative electrons
It depends.Plum Pudding often refers to Christmas Puddingwhich contains mincemeat. Strangely mincemeat consists of various dried fruits but not necessarily plums. (It does not contain meat!)
Thomson's plum pudding model is the model of an atom in which an atom is regarded as a sphere of size 10^(-10)m radius and positively charged matter in which electrons were embedded. Thomson used the pudding as the positive charge and the plums as the negative charge. The plums are stuck in the pudding just as electrons are randomly found in an atom.

j.j thomson put forward the plum pudding theory according to which element is like pudding of positive charge and tiny negative charges stuck inside like plums in pudding.

In the U.K. plum pudding is also called Christmas pudding since it is served with Christmas dinner. Believe it or not, it contains NO PLUMS! Plums used to be the term used for raisins. The pudding has a lot of dried fruit in it held together by egg and suet and sometimes moistened by molasses and flavored with cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger and other spices. The pudding is aged for a month or longer -- that's because they drench it in alcohol. My grandma used to say it was too drunk to spoil. She would wrap it well, put it in the pantry and leave it there for an entire year, or until she got the hankering for some "pud".
Thompson's plum pudding model was that the raisin were negatively charged (electrons) and that the rest of the pudding positively charged.
Thomson believed that electrons were attached to the nucleus like plums in pudding or raisins in bread.
Positively charge protons
It contains mixed dried fruit but not usually plums.
